yea i dunno if its in every state, or just a few, or just county by county... but here in the NW suburbs of Chicago... especially in my county.. taxes all around the board are absolutely rediculous... Cigs are like 7+ now... gas... we have county tax, state tax, gov. tax, and theres another one im missin

Come on now...you know drinking and smoking are bad for you, right? Of course, why then do politicians go after cigarettes and booze when on the one hand they say it is bad for society and you should not do it yet tax the crap out of it? Cause they know THAT is where the money is and no matter what they say, you will pay whatever the cost to get your booze and your smokes. And then you vote the same yahoos back into office. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Don't forget the spend part...tax AND spend...that is the only way out of a recession, well, actually, if you listened to the idiots last Fall, the worst economy since the Great Depression. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Budweiser and Natty Light should be taxed at 400% current levels, and scotch should be tax-exempt. In fact, I should get a deduction per bottle.
